Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for October 23, 2022

Sensitive, Nate?

If Nate doesn’t make the shot, then he’s the butthead

Has throwing basketballs in a hoop actually worked for Nate once? Because I remember this strip from 1991 where Nate gets a higher score than Francis.

4.5/10 I mean, shooting basketballs in a hoop is kind of a stale joke by now. Peirce should retire this joke.

Wow Francis your soooo mature. You want a cookie?

Francis may be a butthead, but he’ll probably ace the quiz.

That top right corner drawing though…

you guys aren’t sleeping aren’t you?

No, no, he’s got a point.

Francis is the one who will probably have an unhappy life, Nate, so there’s that.

The good way of gambling.

I love the strips that show how superstitious Nate is. Francis or Teddy is always in them, reminding him how dumb it is to have something unrelated determine how well he’ll do

Francis is such a bad friend. He could have just let Nate be and left him with his superstition. He didn’t have to put Nate down. That’s not what good friends do. Leave Nate be.

9.5/10 – Great comic but there’s too many of these “shooting” comics. Not that they’re bad, but just repetitive.

That was completely unnecessary on Francis’ part

Good one today. Francis is a bit of a wet blanket.

Lol

Magical thinking…

“My lowest score on a quiz this year is a 98” cap

issues much?

hi

No, he’s a ButtHURST

Ok, that was immature, but he’s not wrong. Making a basket won’t pass your math test.
